lirik lagu the hungry mile – the bushwackers
[verse 1]
in the great depression, down on the wharves of sydney
hadn’t seen their hometowns in a while
the word went around there’d be jobs for everyone
down on the hungry mile
[verse 2]
so i hitched a ride from young and headed for the big smoke
hadn’t seen the money in a while
i left the wife and kids for to try me luck
down on the hungry mile
[chorus]
on the hungry mile, the hungry mile
livin’ on our wits, livin’ on our guile
but the jobs werе few in that endless quеue
down on the hungry mile
[verse 3]
gangs of workers in a broken system
where only the strong survived
demeaned, rejected and disrespected
down on the hungry mile
[chorus]
on the hungry mile, the hungry mile
livin’ on our wits, livin’ on our guile
but the jobs were few in that endless queue
down on the hungry mile
[bridge]
heave, heave, heave, heave
heave, heave, heave, heave
heave, heave, heave, heave
heave, heave, heave
[verse 4]
it was war on the waterfront, the worker’s struggle
fighting for a share of the pile
victimised and unionised
down on the hungry mile
[verse 5]
when you’re drinking your coffee down at darling harbour
just look across the water and smile
count your blessings, but remember the men
who starved on the hungry mile
[pre*chorus]
count your blessings, but remember the men
who starved on the hungry mile
[chorus]
on the hungry mile, the hungry mile
livin’ on our wits, livin’ on our guile
but the jobs were few in that endless queue
down on the hungry mile
on the hungry mile, the hungry mile
livin’ on our wits and livin’ on our guile
but the jobs were few in that endless queue
down on the hungry mile
[outro]
down on the hungry mile
down on the hungry mile
